What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device, remember your preferences, and improve your browsing experience. Some cookies are necessary for the site to function, while others help us understand how visitors use the site and support our marketing and communication activities.

Types of Cookies We Use

We use a combination of essential, analytics, and marketing cookies to provide a reliable and informative online experience for visitors to the Gardeners East Dulwich website.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the website to function correctly. They enable core features such as page navigation, secure access to certain areas, and the correct display of content. Without these cookies, services you have requested, such as navigating between pages or submitting forms, cannot be provided. These cookies do not collect information that could be used for marketing or to remember where you have been on the internet.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Gardeners East Dulwich website. They collect information such as which pages are visited, how long visitors stay on each page, and any errors encountered. This data is aggregated and does not directly identify individual users. We use analytics cookies to monitor website performance, identify areas for improvement, and ensure that the site remains reliable and easy to use.

The information gained from analytics cookies is used solely to enhance the functionality and usability of our website. It supports our ongoing efforts to make content more relevant to gardeners and customers in East Dulwich and to ensure that our pages load quickly and operate smoothly.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to make our communications more relevant to your interests. They may be set by Gardeners East Dulwich or by our advertising partners. These cookies can help us understand the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns, such as how many people visit the website after seeing an advert or promotional content. They may also be used to tailor content you see on other websites, ensuring that any adverts you encounter are more closely aligned with your gardening interests and services you may have viewed.

Performance Monitoring and Website Improvement

We use cookies, particularly analytics cookies, to monitor the performance of the Gardeners East Dulwich website. This includes tracking page load times, identifying technical issues, and analysing how visitors move through the site. By monitoring performance, we can promptly resolve problems, optimise content, and improve navigation so that you can quickly find the gardening information and services you need.

Performance monitoring data is analysed in aggregate form. It is not used to create individual user profiles but rather to understand overall patterns of use and to guide technical and design improvements.

Your Cookie Choices and Control

You have control over how cookies are used on your device. Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can choose to block all cookies, accept only certain types, or delete cookies that have already been placed on your device. Please note that if you choose to block essential cookies, some parts of the Gardeners East Dulwich website may not function properly or may become unavailable.

You can usually find cookie management options in the privacy or security section of your browser settings. For more detailed guidance, refer to the help section of your browser. Adjusting your cookie preferences will not generally remove existing cookies automatically, so you may need to delete them manually within your browser.
